Speaker 1 (00:02):
Miles, You're not the only one who's wondering about future
being Korean.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Future is canonically Korean amongst my Korean friends, and that's
all that matters.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
That's like how Dominican people claim Babe Ruth right.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
So this is bubbling right now two months ago. So
within the past two months, this piece of future lore
is future actually Korean. I've come across several posts and
comments saying that future is Korean, but I can't find
any reliable source confirming that. Does anyone know where this
future is Korean in quotes thing originated from. Was it
(00:37):
a meme that spread or is there a specific interview
or moment that started it. I feel like it was
just your innate ability to clock tell me when someone
is half Korean. You said it was such confidence. I
was just like, oh, okay, Like he's definitely Korean. He's
on WAX.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I know Ablazians, I know Ablazian face. It takes one
to know one, but yeah, it is one of those things.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's like I don't I don't know, but you don't know,
but you know in your heart.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
My Korean friends are excited about it, and that's all
I need. And I'm like yeah, man, if he's Korean
to you, then why not?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Why not? Although yes, there is no proof.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Right, but it's kind of like when you when you
met my kids for the first time and you were like.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Dude, Jack, these kids are I don't know how you're Asian?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Bro?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Do you know this? Which I was. I was shocked
to find.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I know, you know, yeah, it was a little bit awkward.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Uh babe, you can't here.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I don't know how to bring this up, you know.
You know, Miles, right, he's like Asian.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Like half Asian. He's trying to said some crazy right now.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Or the kids Asian. I've heard people say that though,
where they're like like mixed race bite people like where
like a white dad is kind.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Of like, nah, they're they're American.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's like they're caught off guard day. Yeah, dude, I
mean man, it's just funny to see.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
You were right, the Asian mom calling from the hospital.
You're right, You're right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I thought they'd be American mom, but they are American?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What does that even mean?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
of DIR Daily. Th Guys, Yeah, an intrigued Miles Gray.
My name is Jack O'Brien, thrilled to be joined as
always by my co host, mister Miles Good. Yes, Yes,
this is the episode where we tell you what was
(02:45):
trending over the weekend. Kind of a big news weekend,
a lot of a lot of shit going on, if
you if you count Friday, which we do because we
don't record on Friday afternoons. And we also let you
get to know us a little bit better by telling
you some stuff that we think is overrated and underrated.
I'm tired of these damn guests hogging the spotlight, you know,
(03:08):
telling us what they think.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Is overrated, underrated.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's our time down here, Miles, it's our time. Goonies
quote for you. There you go, and that's my underrated
goonies quote.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But let's get dude. You should be data if we
play goonies.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh dude, Data, I'm brand, obviously, I'm brand, Okay, Miles Data,
I'm actually Vince Vince from Entourage into the crew. I
feel like that's if that's all right.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
If we're playing goodies.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But let's get it off with something who you think's underrated?
Something I think is underrated? Myles, what's something you think
is underrated?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Underrated. Uh, it's just that it's that it's a recession
right now.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Whoa, whoa, dude.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I don't know if you saw Nvidia's earnings report las week,
but yeah, it's still popping out here on Wall Street.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I mean it.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Everything indicates that we are, at the very least, we
are in bad We are in a bad economic situation. Okay,
you can look at the job's numbers that they fucking
hide from us. Okay you can. The data that is
available doesn't paint a rosy picture at all. Affordability is
(04:29):
one hundred percent an issue. They're soaring electric utility disconnections
right now due to lack of payment. Why because people
don't have any I don't just anecdotally, I'm sure everyone
knows this. It is so fucking hard to get a
job right now.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I know people who are trying for literal years to
try and get a job in their field. And it's
funny too, because there are people I know who are
like writers, and then they're like, oh, I gotta work
like this retail thingure Like oh, why can't you just
get this like retail jobs, Like because I don't even
have a fucking resume with because I've been writing for
the fucking last ten years that even when I go
(05:07):
for a job like that, they're gonna be like, the fuck,
I'm gonna ask somebody who knows how to fucking work
retail work, whatever the specific field is. So there are those.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Don't you write me up in a little chatter with
that you can do with the customer, because otherwise you're
fucked here, buddy.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Then I just also look at like the cultural things
like recession pop. It's back, come on, y'all, the music
we're listening to, a lot of people have like talked about,
like the genre recession pop that like blew up in
like eight to like twenty twelve of like the Lady
gagas early Nicki Minaj, LMFAO, fucking early Bruno mar like
all that shit that was like.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Whew, this hard reset, dude, taking the therapy right to
the temple, straight.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
To the tempe Arizona, and you're going, like you just
just get me out of here. It's funny because I
remember in twenty ten, I wrote one of the most
profoundly high notes in my cell phone watching a DJ
set at the Outside Lands Music Festival. I put EDM
equals Economic Distraction music, wow, because I was like, what
(06:12):
the fun I just remember having this weird moment. I'm
like there's like there was like on ironically like Toyota
ads playing, but then like with this music and everyone
and I'm like the world's gone fucking like where are we.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I'm like one of my high thoughts where everybody's like
partying around me, and on one of my Epstein.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's an Epstein note to self, I wrote, that's much better.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I'd give yourself some credit at Epstein notes were pretty
pretty dumb.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Economic distraction music is like that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Because that was like that huge the beginning, like really
the mainstreaming of like massive ray of culture, like headlining
at festivals where it's like, let's just fucking dance and
I love that shit.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It's not that I'm like talking shit.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But again, when you look at like Ethno musicologists and
the way they talk about this music, it's escape because
of the situations that we're in, just like business casuals
coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
This is like I think this is more of a
black thing, but like around this time going to the club,
millennials are wearing business casual like stunning in business casual
because the fucking rules out a clobe like no hats.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No jerseys, no jeans, no sneakers, we don't serve Hennessy.
It's basically saying like we don't want black people here.
So it's like, noted, I will dress like I'm a
job interview. Now, how the fuck are you gonna keep
me out of here?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And they're like, what the fuck? Follow the rules.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And there's like this whole trend right now that a
lot of people are talking about called the quarter zip trend,
where a lot of like young black kids are saying
like I'm giving up the Nike tech suit and I'm
now wearing a quarter zip sweater and I'm drinking Amacha
latte and sort of doing this thing of like I'm
off that now. But a lot of it is like
sort of like, you know, very.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Classist and kind of like shitting on like mainstream, like
just like being like there's the tech suit wears and
there's the quarter zip wears, and it's.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Like now the people are being like, hold on, we can't.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Just be shitting on our by thinking like just because
we're dressing in a quartership that everything's going to magically change.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
All that to say is like there's aesthetics popping up.
The culture is there, andecdotally ambiently it feels like it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But it's again statistics, the actual economic statistics that they
just don't consider. The the economy is what's happening on
Wall Street. There are also bad jobs numbers if you
look at the specific things that affect people's day to
day lives. But yeah, they found a way to just
completely decouple like the Wall Street economy and then what's
(08:32):
happening to everyone else? And there's a twenty four hour
streaming news network devoted to just the Wall Street economy,
and there's not shit, there's not there's very, very rarely
even news like isolated news story about any other economy
that actually affects people.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
If it is, it's one of those like late stage
capitalism horror stories, or like this disabled elementary school teacher
was able to get the supplies for their school because
of like you know, they they pulled a lucky number
at a festival and like you're like what the fuck,
Like what like every detail about this story said we're
(09:10):
failing this teacher, we're failing these students. Everything is bad.
But just because they got this like bit of luck. Anyway,
the news doesn't want to say it too because I
don't want to freak people out, but guess what, people
already living this shit, whether or not you're described it
that way or not. So it's shout out to the
companies propping up the quote unquote economy with AI spending.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, I think that is like the underrated of the year.
Both you did a good job explaining it, but also
like it just feels like it's the big underrated story
that is pervading everything that's happening in the news right now.
It's just like yeah, yeah, so we're focusing on the
people in power, we're focusing on you know, economic news
(09:51):
like that that's happening on Wall Street and like at
the top level, and then just Matt, like everybody is
just fucking struggling.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I think because rhetorically using the word affordability as a
stand in for fucked economy. Yes, yeah, it absolves people
of any responsibility. That's God, there's just nebulous affordability issue.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
No, it's like it's a regulatory failure. It's it's just
untethered greed and people being ground down to dust. But yeah,
it's affordability issues.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I don't know what we're gonna do, and zaram mam.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Donnie got elected because of sharp elbowed politics and being
good at and because he smiles a lot. Yeah, that's
the that's the revision of that big story exactly. Was
obviously driven by the exact thing you're talking about, my
underrated Miles is how hard it's going to be for
(10:44):
Christopher Nolan to adapt the Odyssey. I you a fool,
so I want And this is not to say he
can't do it. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying
it's a much more interesting challenge. Just then I realized,
like once, so I thought about it this weekend. I'll
explain why. But when I went to see one Battle
(11:06):
after another, they showed the teaser for the Odyssey with
like Matt Damon Flow, you know, passed out on a
boat and like just people being like, this guy is
fucking awesome. He's the coolest nobody like that could actually exist.
He's so cool. And people like cheered at the end
(11:27):
of that trailer, like they like, I've not been in
a trailer where there was that sort of reaction. People
are like so fucking psyched for this movie and I
was there. I was there with them. Man, I took
off my shirt and started whipping around my head like
a helicopter.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
That was me. Yeah yeah, I clip yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I didn't realize what Harry your back was.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It's bad, just but on that one shoulder blade, it's
just a patch that I can because I shaved left handed.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So spot man.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But the image of the movie I had in my
head is something like I don't know, like Troy or
twa as my friend pronounced that, or a Gladiator. My
friend shout out to my friend Ryan Cassidy was always like,
do you want to go see twa Gladiator? You know,
like one of those but made by Nolan so awesome.
(12:25):
But my kids, so my kids are into Greek mythology
right now, and we're listening to this podcast called Greeking Out,
and like we just happened on this story that was
like a story of Odysseus fooling a giant Cyclops by
saying his name is nobody. Like he and his crew
blind the Cyclops by stabbing him in the eye, and
the Cyclops like calls for help from his friend Cyclopsies,
(12:49):
and then when they ask who blinded you, he says, nobody,
and the other cyclops are like, I guess nobody blinded him,
and like, I'll FuG off. It's like just like ancient world,
like the first word word trick or right, and I
don't I don't think that story will be in the
Odyssey exactly that same way. But it like made me
(13:10):
realize that my image of this movie is very different
from the source material, Like this will have to in
some scenes essentially be a monster movie unless he really
chooses to go in a different like I guess there
are other directions he go like a hyper realistic you know,
(13:32):
Robert Eggers or you know, like Batman begins with sort
of him being like what if Batman took place in
the real world and so like, but we haven't seen
him do like a genre like this would seem to
call for. So unless he's like recasting all of the
monsters as like real world animals, or you know, people
(13:57):
online are speculating like what monster doesign he's going with,
and he said only that the supernatural stuff was real
to the characters. He's like, you know, there were volcanic
things and all these things that they thought were caused
by the gods. So that's kind of could go in
either direction.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Like they just the protagonists look like idiots because they
don't know they're like it was real to them. Dude,
this guy just has This guy just has his eye
closed and they called him a cyclops.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Like he could go in the you know, Robert Egger's
movies like The Northmen and The Witch and Lighthouse, I
think are the ones where he basically approaches the people
of other times as like an alien species, where the
line between like what the natural world and supernatural sort
of breaks down and you don't believe and know if
(14:47):
what you're seeing is like psychological or really happening. Which
is all to say, like that that's all really interesting.
That was just an element that I wasn't taking into account.
I thought it was just going to be like a
straight up like historical epic type thing.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Watch him now kind of more.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Intrigued by the movie, but not in a like this
is a surefire Nolan in his bag doing Nolan Ship
way more of a like this is going to have
to be the weirdest movie Nolan has ever made, which
is interesting, Like it's interesting to see where he goes
with that.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Could you man like because you know, because like Odysseus
is like clever, you know, and like the Cyclops story
is like one of those sort of like things that
really shows that be funny. He just because no man
did it. And then when the Cyclops like what happened?
Who did it? He's like, nobody did this. They just
go with like the fucking who, Like it's fucking cs.
I like, yeah, I got his moving on, what else
(15:43):
did you do?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Cut to Odysseus like sailing away on the speed given
double barrel middle fingers, fucks.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Like I'm sorry, I panicked. I don't know how the
fuck to play this. Yeah fuck yeah, that'll be interesting.
I mean, he loves realism, so whether it's like playing
in the reality of what is real to these characters
versus like what we what we believe to be real
as audience members like threading that need, it'll.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Be it'll be super interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Like yeah, you got there's gotta be some monsters in
this movie, dude, he's I mean, he made a movie
about dreams and it didn't have any monsters in it.
It didn't have any like any weird It just had
like people in like with guns. It was just like
my dreams are a James Bond movie essentially, which is cool,
(16:35):
like that that movie fucking rips. So I'm just curious,
like what he's gonna do with that. Yeah, yeah, I
mean a train could come out of nowhere downtown Online
during a rainstorm, kind of like a monster. But it's
the cores light train. What what is something you think
is overrated?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Overrated? What did I put here?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Oh dude, my fucking my folks, come here a humbled
man to the court of candy Corn for since the
beginning of this show, Yeah, you have a real candy
corn hater. I have moved my bowels directly upon the
crown of candy Corn. Okay, And I I wasn't Odysseus,
(17:21):
and I've been very very aggressive about my hatred of candle.
Like it fucking tastes like shit, It's stupid. It tastes
like dried up icing. I went to a neighbor's house yesterday.
This is what I do now. I go to neighbors
houses for pie and coffee. This is how fucking domestic
I felt in fifties. It was crazy. But one of
(17:42):
my neighbors, she's from the South, and she had a
bowl of candy corn and peanuts out and she goes, hey, hey,
you should. I'm like, I was like, oh, I kind
of went. I was like, oh, candy corn, it's all right,
right right. She's like, yeah, it's a little late, but
it's you know, I think it's like a fault treat
her Majesty looks at me. She's like, wow, try try it,
and I go, I don't fucking like candy corn.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I was like a fucking baby.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I was like, I.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Try it. I take a handful of this shit. It's
so fucking good. I I audibly was like.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Oh my God, Like my brains, okay, dude, my brain
finally connected the dots and having peanuts with it completely
opened up candy corn in my brain.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Yeah, like a baby Ruth or something Abba Zabba.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Town, like where you have that nondescript sort of sweet
thing but with like roasted salted peanuts. I fucking had
tears coming down my face, like I had finally understood
what Christ's love like after being an atheist for so long.
Like I had my moment where I surrendered to the Lord,
the Lord of candy corn, so good corn, and I
(18:51):
was like, what the fuck is She's like you've never
had this for I'm like, no, I was just eating
at candy corn.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I've never had it with peanuts. These are peanuts out
of the shell Sali, just loose peanuts candy corn in
a bowl. Have fucking toss him in, baby, chew them up, masticicate, swallow, enjoy, digest,
excreete repeat, mm hmmm. Okay, yeah, no, I'm just taking
all those.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Excreet to repeat. Okay, good, I do it like.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
It doesn't strike me as something that would be improved
by peanuts. That's that's so interesting, a Southern delicacy.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It's you know, anyone who's listening the show, I hate
fucking I fucking hated it and having it with just
that it's just weird. It's just like these that slight recontextualization.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And now I'm a changed man. I'm a changed man.
I got vaccinated for the first time after that too.
I've been lying this show for a long time. I've
been anti vaxxes whole time.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Right about this, What else could they have been write
about vaccines?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Sorry, sorry, I'm gonna go right, but yeah, shout out
my neighbor, shout out. Just these like these slight moments
and I'm a fool, so my hatred oh completely overrated?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, damn, because candy corn doesn't like I've never had it.
I just liked when I was like a little sugar freak.
When I was a kid, I liked the big pumpkins
mainly because they were just you know, I liked icing.
There's like big old honks of icing. Yeah. The only
thing I've ever had candy corn incorporated into is like
(20:33):
as a decorative topping for cupcakes, which I never really
felt was the ideal way to showcase candy corn because
it's just like sugar on sugar.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
You know, if you don't go to the store and
buy some loose on sale candy corn and peanuts and
give them to your children, I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Call CPS on you again.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Look, I keep crying. This might be the one they
know my name number already, Like what Jack.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Did when you and you realized they were half Korean
called CPS. Do you know think they're his kids?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
All right? I'm on it.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Also, candy corn one of the few things that can
transcend that goes from Halloween straight through to Thanksgiving. Yeah,
you know, like not not much else, Like, hey, hey,
what's between the two.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Hey, yeah, that's about a candy corn. Yeah, boom, both
both places.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
What's overrated for you?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And gooses and turkeys? I guess people people eat those them,
crist Although that's not a Halloween thing.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What am I talking about? Halloween goose? We do?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
We get up Halloween goose on every table.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
We are just carving a big turkey as people come
by for trigger treating. My overrated speaking of Halloween being
over and things lingering, I just I overrate the difficulty
of like certain tasks, like I put off taking my
twelve foot skeleton and eleven foot whitch down until this weekend.
(22:11):
We were on day twenty three after Halloween, and that
shit was still there, and I was just walking by
it and feeling like a tiny bit stressed out every
time I did Yeah, I was like, yeah, we'll get
to it.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
We'll get to it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
At the point they would you're breaking it down on
a call, huffing and puffing.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah. Last week Yeah, I remember was like, what's Jack doing?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You're like, yeah, so sorry, guys, I got to tick
down my.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Skelet Did I do that on a call? Oh my gosh,
you did that on that editorial? That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
It took me like fifteen minutes. It was so it
was so easy. There's like it snaps together fairly easily.
So underrated how difficult it is to put up and
take down the twelve foot skeleton. It's just it's twelve feet,
so it seems like it's gonna be a big deal.
But I put it up and took it down, and
neither time was as hard as I was anticipating. Yeah, yeah,
(23:09):
I just generally that's how my mind works, where I'll
just let something sit and for like six months and
then it will like take no time.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Our brains are the worst fortune tellers future seers.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
It's gonna be so fucked up, dude, You're not even
gonna be able to fucking do that shit right, And
then cut to like there was like a I have
to fill out all these surveys and paperwork for the
like lawsuit I'm involved in with my house burning down.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah, and like I look at him like, oh fuck,
you're fucking kidding me. And date of birth.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I'm gonna fucking die if I have to put spill
this out. It's gonna be so it said it was.
The thing was like a two point six megabyte PDF
I opened it. It was three pages, and I was like,
you fucking idiot, you fucking just fucking just fucking no,
for sure, rather than always doing the thing of catastrophizing before.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
You even do it. I'm a big catastrophizer.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I couldtastrophize about blocks and keys.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
They call me young Black Socrates exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
That's yeah, let's take it. Let's take a quick break,
and we'll come back and talk about Donald Trump and
uh Zerramm Donnie meeting over the weekend, the showdown, uh
and other news that happened this weekend.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
It feels like that was their version of candy corn
and peanuts that yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Yeah, and we're back, We're back.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
And uh.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Fox News was hyping it like it was a UFC
fight dubbed showdown with socialism. I don't know if they
got like a tip from inside that Trump was like,
he's gonna fucking bite his head off, dude, dude, he.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Wrapped his hands and broken glass. It's fucking nuts what
he's doing. He's been training with Bolo Young from the
martial arts films The Bad Guy in Blood Support to
get fucking ready for this. Yes, so stupid, showing the
ponytail that he put on top of it. He whips herround,
(25:30):
puts a clip in ponytail in the back. He's like,
I ready, bring him in, bring him in.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
But yeah, so Fox News uh was being previewed as
the showdown with Socialism, and it was that like kind
of summed up by a you know, photograph that everybody
saw with Momdannie not surprisingly smiling and Donald Trump looking
back at him with the biggest fucking smile on his face.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Dude, it looks like when I I like met Jonathan
keyhoy Kwan aka Data aka short Round aka Academy Award winner,
Like when I was a kid, I looked up him
so much. There's a I gotta find it. I met
him and I'm like, ah, whowee, that is the excitement
(26:18):
looking up at him. It's so funny. People are like, bro,
he doesn't even have pictures with Baron looking like this. No, yeah,
this is the happiest I've ever seen him. Look it
doesn't I don't. Yeah, did he just find out what
socialism means? He's like, oh, pretty reasy. I mean a
lot of people at this point is like Trump can't
like if he can't say shit about a winner, like
(26:39):
to the point where like he has to like bow
down to winners like it doesn't even matter. And this
one he's just like, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
He's great.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
The shit he was saying is unbelievable, Like how like
suddenly he went from like we're gonna have to look
into this guy, he's a low life communist to being like,
h we will not be threatening funding at all to
New York City.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah, this guy's great. And actually Trump was.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Like saying, I think he's gonna actually contruct surprise a
lot of conservatives about what he's going to do. Liberals
already like him, and Trump said I'm totally.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Comfortable being in New York if he's the mayor.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
They just completely upended all their rhetoric around this shit.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Trump suggested that mom, Donnie is going to be a
quote really great mayor, claimed that we agree on a
lot more than I would have fought because I don't
I don't read or do anything, and told him to
go ahead and call him a fascist in response to
a reporter's question because it's easier, and they gave him
like a playful arm pat it was hold on, we
(27:40):
had this clip, Yeah, this clip is absolutely because.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Again the media, they were asking all kinds of questions
to both of them, to be like you said he
was a bitch, and you said he was a ge hottist,
or like you know, like or people in your party
believe that.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
What do you think He's like, No, he's actually I
fucked with him heavy. Actually it was basically what he
was saying.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But yeah, this is a really wild one too, where
they try to get mom Donnie like caught up, like
you called this dude accurate?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Are you affirm that you think Trumps a fascist? I've
spoken about that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
It's easier than explaining it, don't.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's a bad. Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It's easier than just like his.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Grand like talking to your grandchild. It's like, do you
think your grandpa's a raised It's like, it's okay, honey,
it's you can love each other. We have our relationship.
You can say that. It's easier, I love you. It's okay, baby. Yeah.
Every every quote was so glowing.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
It does raise the queste because you know, I feel
like since it first administration, we've like people take what
he says seriously because he's the president. I really feel
like it's it's like his moods are just wild and
swing based on like if he's in a good like
(29:06):
adderall pocket or not, you know what I mean. Yeah,
And like this was early the sun was out.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Go get those early.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
And also too, he doesn't he has no memory of
what he said before about a thing, right, like whatever
it is, you're just getting his instant reaction to whatever
they're like is being asked of him. And in this case,
he had a good meeting with Mom Donnie, who is
like personable, he's affable, he knows how to talk to people,
(29:34):
so of course he's gonna like he found a way
to describe what his vision was, and Trump said, I
think it's great. He wants to make it safe. I
want it to be safe. I want it to be affordable.
I like New York. He likes New York. That's good.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Like h Like he was just like Mom Donnie went
in with like a handful of talking points that were
just like, hey, we both like New York. And he
was just like, wow, that's a good point. And then
like you know, Trump posted, so he posted all these
pictures of them together.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, like from his account, he's like he's ram with
this cool young guy from New York, Isn't he cool?
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Folks?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Again, people were like, you don't even post your fucking kids, bro.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Meanwhile, Laura Lumer not not quite as far. The people
on the right were like, you know, it came in
expecting to see like an UFC knockout, and staid saw
like just a cuddle fust Yeah, Laura Lumer said, not
condemning Trump disclaimer, However, I think we can all agree.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's a bad look to let a foreign board.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Jettis, who said he wants to implement anti white policies
like taxing white people more money, to stand behind the
desk in the Oval Office and repeatedly wrote the phrase
what are we doing? I'm stunned throughout. I had to
drink a bottle of ginger ale today after seeing mom
Donnie in the Oval office because it physically nauseates me
seeing Islamic jihadis infiltrate our government.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
The Democrats posted on it, despite despite having passed a
House resolution condemning socialism. They were they were willing to
post a meme photo with like Mum Donnie extra Trump
and as like the strong dog.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah yeah, Chad and little Baby couldn't absolutely couldn't stand
up to it.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I mean, yeah, I think a lot of people are like.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
What's he doing with Trump? I'm like, dude, he's working him.
I don't know, I don't know. I mean, like obviously,
I think you're there. What what he'll be able to
achieve versus what he campaigned on are of two different
things because he doesn't have absolute power as mayor. But
you know, it is wild to just he went in
there and turned a guy who said we might have
to deport his ass.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yeah, to you.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Get whatever money you need, babe, call me a fascist, babe.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I love it, babe. Kind of cute. He's kind of cute, babe.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
And honestly, I would love to live in Mam Donnie's
in New York. It's what he was saying. So it's, yeah,
that really fucked up all the people who were, you know,
hoping that the maga Islamophobia would he would keep that
same energy, but he didn't.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
It's as he's unreliable, might say. There were some great
images of Trump dressing legs Oran after the meeting, and
like it was like Zoran in a kind of maroon
turtleneck with a blacks right, and then Trump in like
a scarf with a black blazer and people were like, damn,
(32:33):
he's even like trying to copy his swag. But those
were fake those Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I think the thing that wasn't Ai slop, that was
the most jarring was just seeing their interaction there.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
And also, it's okay, babe, you can say what you want.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Underscores to not only like disoniality, but the cowardice. You know,
Donald Trump, he only keeps that same energy for unfortunately
women or women of color. That's the only time he's
like he really fucking eyes. It's like he's like he's like,
oh yeah, what about this this guy, Like this guy
calls you a fashion He said, Okay, babe.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
You can say it. It's all right.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I actually think it's cute when he says it.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh so you don't have that same energy from the
Twitter posts? Okay, okay, I actually can't remember. It's wet energy, babe.
It's always loved, babe, No smoke, babe, never wanted it.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
He does. Speaking of Trump and Twitter posts, he is
still posting a lot of like alarming shit that suggests
that he wants to murder the people who said that.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I just think seditious crimes should be punishable by death,
that's right. And I throws them of that. Do whatever
you want with that information. Yeah, I mean again, he's
still feeling the sting of lawmakers reminding the troops about
the Constitution because I think it. Those are the moments
when he has to be like, I'm the bad I'm like, no,
(33:56):
surely not. Now let me now, let me retreat to
my the soothing, calm waters of AI boomer slot memes
with me starring Donald Trump, and he's posting ship like
he's got like a this AI pick of like him
with an American flag cape on with like the New
York City skyline. But the letters don't make sense. It says,
(34:16):
remember your oath.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Then there's another one with red lightning like he's a
fucking like Emperor Palpatine or some sith lord. Like red
lightning hitting him. It says duet que on his shoulder
of his jacket, and it says time to obliterate the
deep State. Yeah, and you're like, oh, y'all that he
might they might state they might self obliterate, right, the
(34:44):
whole Q thing is kind of a weird thing to
be invoking the same week that it was revealed that
you're all over the Epstein files and all over the
Epstein emails.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
It's not him.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
They're like, no, no, no, no, no, his energies around
because he's going to upend the pedophile, evil cabals that
exist among Democrats. And then there's another one with a
guy Fox mask and said, nothing can stop what's coming. Uh,
but it's a guy Fox mask, like as if he's
taking off the Guy Fox mask, but he's wearing a
guy This guy Fox mask stupid because it's ai not
(35:22):
in sense. You're like, what are you saying that?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
It's still if it was trum Trump's fist underneath, but
instead it was Guy Fox taking off his Guy Fox mask.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Yep reveal it is me Guy Fox mask. So there
we are.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Meanwhile, none of the targeted lawmakers are backing down. They're like,
he's just trying to intimidate us, and you know whatever,
we're not intimidated because guess what, it's in the fucking constitution.
You're supposed to disobey an illegal order. That's like the
whole fucking point here. And Republicans they're split on how
to respond. You have people who are like clearly trying
to differentiate from MAGA, like the RAMD Paul who are like, look,
(36:01):
I'm just an idiot. I'm not MAGA. He's like, I
think it's reckless.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Then meanwhile, you have other I think it was Tom
Tillis who was saying, like, you know, children are watching,
and the president should think about the example he sets
for the children that are watching.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Like, okay, nice light attempt at admonishment. And meanwhile, every
like military expert has basically said like, yeah, what these
lawmakers said is absolutely legal and true. You're supposed to
disobey in a legal order.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
He was saying, children are watching, so that's why you
got to stop doing a war crime.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
He was trying to be like, you're an look that
you're a role models. He was doing that, you're a
role model, mister president. So maybe you don't call for
their heads because little kids. You want to show the
little children's of the world that we don't just call
for people's heads. M Oh okay, yeah, yeah, I don't
know how that worked.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
That was effective. Such a weird thing to be like that.
That's my line. This this looks bad to children.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
It's just such a I think it's a way for
them to be critical, but in a way that is
meaningless to Trump. So like they're on record being like,
well Tom Tillis didn't co sign that, he said the
children are watching, But Donald Trump's like, I don't give
a fuck fuck them kids.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yes, he's a he's a big fuck them kids energy. Yeah,
And so are you?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Is that still a.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Thing where you believe in Santa Claus? Is that still
a going concern for you? Are you?
Speaker 4 (37:21):
What?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Are you the five to twelve demo? What let's take
a quick break, we'll come back, and we're back. We're back.
And I think I saw a headline over the weekend
(37:44):
that the crypto market has not been good to the
Trump family so far this year?
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (37:51):
They they put a lot of money in, a lot
of people like, yeah, man, we're all getting in if
Trump's getting in.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
But the market is a volatile thing.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
They're basically if there was a just a huge selloff
that wiped out more than one trillion dollars of value
across the digital asset world, that meant the poor Trump familia,
they they lost a billion dollars. They used to be
worth seven point seven billion and only six point seven
billion dollars, so sheet.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Fuck you hate to see that.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
And they said it's mostly because of how much of
the like crypto that they're holding. Mm hmmm, because again,
I think the other part that's really the not surprising
aspect of this story is that all the people who
bought the Trump shit coin around inauguration weekend when it
was like at its peak, they would have lost fucking
there the entire like investment at this point, Like if
(38:42):
they held onto it, You're like, of course, because they're
they're they're just taking money from you.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
So yeah, it's not good for anyone.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
It's not good for the for the Trump family, and
it's certainly not good if you're holding the Trump shit
coin either, Right.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Fuck man, I'm not gonna say which of those two
groups I fall into, but I do fall into one
of them, and that is bad news for this guy.
Bad news for my uncle, does seem Yeah, it seems
somewhat predictable that he was going to do a bad
job and his popularity would slightly fall from where it
(39:16):
was after the inauguration.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, And also just the whole idea that like as
if buying a Trump shit coin was any kind of
investment to begin.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
With, Does that suggest that they had a billion dollars
tied up in a meme coin like that?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
No, No, it's probably across other stuff. They huge just
chunks a big coin.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Like just everything.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
They've been getting, all kinds of assets.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
And it seems like he.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Only has the potential the capability to like focus on
a thing at a time, and so like there was
like a week where he was just like all meme
coin all the time, and that was his thing, and
now nobody's like really talking about it, so he's not
even aware of it.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, he's mercurial, you know, and right now he's in
his socialism era. I think he's he's like I just
talked to Zoran. Oh my god, we're gonna we're gonna
do something.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
We're doing.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I think this beard looks cool on me, beard, sir, Yes, yes,
very cool beard you have.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
I wonder if he can grow a beard? Probably not right,
I don't know, he I ah, I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
It is odd, Like is.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
The how completely hairless his face is and always has been.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yeah, what's going on there? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Because I could even get my weird like pirate cheek
hair out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
I've never seen a single whisker on his face. Yeah,
maybe maybe he got a lasered off, or maybe I
get it waxed. Getche beard. Waxing is what I actually
engage in. So Doge doesn't exist anymore. This is just
like following up on stories from a year ago. Trump's
shit coin and Doge which came in was all anybody
(40:56):
could talk about for a while as they were dismantling
the government. And now it is, as Jam points out,
straight up, like the part in the monorail episode where
Marge goes to the neighboring towns who used to have
monorails and everyone's just like, there ain't no monorail and
there never was when there was just like monorail tracks
over the But yeah, the Trump officials are now saying
(41:20):
that Doge quote doesn't exist. Although it supposedly had eight
months still remaining on its contract, it was dissolved the
whole invading federal agencies and firing thousands of federal workers.
Where they were like, trust us, there's a method to this.
We know what we're doing. Again, what one thing at
a time, He's able to just like focus on a thing,
(41:42):
be like we're doing that. He blows up whatever that
was or that relationship, gets bad press for it, and
then moves off it and there's just disaster left in
his wake.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Yeah, it's wild because they're like it doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
It's like the damage that was done by this group.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Sorry, Yeah, range should have clarified unlike immeasurable. Yeah, you know,
like like all the stories you're read with these people
like fucking bear essentially barricading themselves and these like government
offices and keep people from like doing what they were
up to and trying to get access to like data
systems that no one does, and like, yeah, just just
fuck around in there a little bit for whatever fucking
(42:22):
reason you are TBD. We still don't even know what
like what the wait, you know what the real ramifications
of that are going to be. So yeah, let me clarify. Uh,
doge no longer exists. However, our inability to tell when
a hurricane is coming that is forever. Yeah, and that
is our promise to you. Uh, the government no longer
(42:42):
in charge of that. Yeah, and also nobody else is
because everybody was lying on the government to.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Kill them I'm sure it was probably something with like
you know, Peter Teel or someone being like, oh, I'll
have all that data on every American.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Yeah I could do something with that.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Uh sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, let me check
that out.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
But yeah, it's uh, I don't know, maybe we just
get a bunch of scam spam calls or something.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
It's already happening.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
But yeah, great, it's disbanded. It is no more. And
I think there's a couple of people that are still
on the that were part of those that have now
been moved over to the h I think it's called
the National Design Studio, and that is being like the
guy who co founded Airbnb runs it and basically what
they do there is to beautify government websites.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Okay, so they've they've shrunken the scope of their mission
a little bit. Yeah, slightly, just like woke website redesigned beautifying.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
A website that woke shit. Dude, Fine, that's true.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Up to all right? MTG finally has quit? Will quit?
Oh man, candn't handle it? Huh.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
It was it was a quick turn. She was like,
I am here to stand up to this president and
like by the end of that sentence, she was like,
and I will be stepping down.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Yeah. She was like that scene on Friday when Red
got knocked out for you know, Deebo stealing his bike
and then he said you want some tool man, and
Margie Taylor Green said nope and fucked off like she'd
only been she really starting to puffing her chest up,
like for ten days a week. Yeah, and then I
(44:24):
mean she was saying she's getting all kinds of death threats.
And I don't know if like she's if the narrative
is they chased me out so I'm resigning, or she
actually is just doing it for the pension. It could
be somebody, it could be everything, it could be both.
Who's to say, But she'd good.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Her time would go up, right, Like I think they're
just saying that, Like she pushed her resignation to a
date after which she would qualify for the pension. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Like she's like, well, I need that in order to
be you know, eligible for.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
The pension, for the congressional pension.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
So now, yeah, speaking of my current Yeah, yeah, she
just went from like hard right Trump champion to you know,
hard right Trump critic that AOC was pointing out that
like she's you know, still votes in line with the
most right wing shit possible, and it is not not cool.
(45:20):
Like despite her saying things about like healthcare and she's
she does not vote in line with that stuff.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
She is the only thing that's been the Epstein stuff. Yeah,
it's just she's been somewhat consistent on But I think, yeah,
this feels either a she got there's too many death
threats and she's like I don't want to just deal
with being on this side of like maga Iyer, or
it's the thing that I think most people who are
(45:48):
opportunistic who seek officer doing it is like maybe she's
now I don't know. If you look at polymarket, she's
not shot to third in terms of potential nominees for
twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
The Republican presidential nomination.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
But that's not based off fucking anything. It's just interesting
like that.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Because a lot of people are speculating, I'm like, oh,
is she going to make a run? I'm like, do
you fucking attack ads against her? They're gonna be like,
look at this shit she posted on because it's different
how she comes off to voters than how Trump comes
off to voters right like independence would hear see Marjorie.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
Taylor Green and be like, I don't fucking know about this.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
But I don't know. I mean, I think that there's
a this is this seems like a very interesting time
for Republicans to be like, maybe we can start doing
what Democrats do and I just kind of keep my
head low and be like I'm not really this though,
and hopefully that gives me a seat at.
Speaker 3 (46:35):
The table in a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Right. She has said I'm not running for president and
never said I wanted to, and have only laughed about
it when anyone would mention it.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
I've only got too Yeah, I've only laughed about it.
Is so aggressive, I know, are you seriously.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
When they bring it up, I just like only laugh
about do you have a crush on that person?
Speaker 3 (46:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (46:56):
And in fact, like the fact that you brought it
up is actually making me laugh right now, that's actually
making me die. That's making me die laughing right now,
I'm actually laughing so hard. You're talking to an angel.
You're being haunted by my ghost because what you said
killed me. I don't like them, all right, they should
let us right there, denials.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Sorry, you're talking to a ghost.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
You're talking to a ghost actually right now. Anyways, those
are some of the things that are trending on this Monday,
November twenty fourth. We are back tomorrow with a whole
ass episode of the show. We also had our Evergreen
Icons episode number two drop this morning. You can go
check that out. In the one before this one, we're
covering Arkle this week to Keith Neil and yeah, until tomorrow,

to you all tomorrow.

Future is canonically Korean amongst my Korean friends, and that's
all that matters.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
That's like how Dominican people claim Babe Ruth right.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
So this is bubbling right now two months ago. So
within the past two months, this piece of future lore
is future actually Korean. I've come across several posts and
comments saying that future is Korean, but I can't find
any reliable source confirming that. Does anyone know where this
future is Korean in quotes thing originated from. Was it
(00:37):
a meme that spread or is there a specific interview
or moment that started it. I feel like it was
just your innate ability to clock tell me when someone
is half Korean. You said it was such confidence. I
was just like, oh, okay, Like he's definitely Korean. He's
on WAX.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I know Ablazians, I know Ablazian face. It takes one
to know one, but yeah, it is one of those things.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's like I don't I don't know, but you don't know,
but you know in your heart.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
My Korean friends are excited about it, and that's all
I need. And I'm like yeah, man, if he's Korean
to you, then why not?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Why not? Although yes, there is no proof.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Right, but it's kind of like when you when you
met my kids for the first time and you were like.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Dude, Jack, these kids are I don't know how you're Asian?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Bro?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Do you know this? Which I was. I was shocked
to find.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I know, you know, yeah, it was a little bit awkward.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Uh babe, you can't here.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I don't know how to bring this up, you know.
You know, Miles, right, he's like Asian.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Like half Asian. He's trying to said some crazy right now.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Or the kids Asian. I've heard people say that though,
where they're like like mixed race bite people like where
like a white dad is kind.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Of like, nah, they're they're American.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's like they're caught off guard day. Yeah, dude, I
mean man, it's just funny to see.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
You were right, the Asian mom calling from the hospital.
You're right, You're right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I thought they'd be American mom, but they are American?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What does that even mean?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
of DIR Daily. Th Guys, Yeah, an intrigued Miles Gray.
My name is Jack O'Brien, thrilled to be joined as
always by my co host, mister Miles Good. Yes, Yes,
this is the episode where we tell you what was
(02:45):
trending over the weekend. Kind of a big news weekend,
a lot of a lot of shit going on, if
you if you count Friday, which we do because we
don't record on Friday afternoons. And we also let you
get to know us a little bit better by telling
you some stuff that we think is overrated and underrated.
I'm tired of these damn guests hogging the spotlight, you know,
(03:08):
telling us what they think.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Is overrated, underrated.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's our time down here, Miles, it's our time. Goonies
quote for you. There you go, and that's my underrated
goonies quote.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But let's get dude. You should be data if we
play goonies.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh dude, Data, I'm brand, obviously, I'm brand, Okay, Miles Data,
I'm actually Vince Vince from Entourage into the crew. I
feel like that's if that's all right.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
If we're playing goodies.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But let's get it off with something who you think's underrated?
Something I think is underrated? Myles, what's something you think
is underrated?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Underrated. Uh, it's just that it's that it's a recession
right now.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Whoa, whoa, dude.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I don't know if you saw Nvidia's earnings report las week,
but yeah, it's still popping out here on Wall Street.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I mean it.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Everything indicates that we are, at the very least, we
are in bad We are in a bad economic situation. Okay,
you can look at the job's numbers that they fucking
hide from us. Okay you can. The data that is
available doesn't paint a rosy picture at all. Affordability is
(04:29):
one hundred percent an issue. They're soaring electric utility disconnections
right now due to lack of payment. Why because people
don't have any I don't just anecdotally, I'm sure everyone
knows this. It is so fucking hard to get a
job right now.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I know people who are trying for literal years to
try and get a job in their field. And it's
funny too, because there are people I know who are
like writers, and then they're like, oh, I gotta work
like this retail thingure Like oh, why can't you just
get this like retail jobs, Like because I don't even
have a fucking resume with because I've been writing for
the fucking last ten years that even when I go
(05:07):
for a job like that, they're gonna be like, the fuck,
I'm gonna ask somebody who knows how to fucking work
retail work, whatever the specific field is. So there are those.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Don't you write me up in a little chatter with
that you can do with the customer, because otherwise you're
fucked here, buddy.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Then I just also look at like the cultural things
like recession pop. It's back, come on, y'all, the music
we're listening to, a lot of people have like talked about,
like the genre recession pop that like blew up in
like eight to like twenty twelve of like the Lady
gagas early Nicki Minaj, LMFAO, fucking early Bruno mar like
all that shit that was like.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Whew, this hard reset, dude, taking the therapy right to
the temple, straight.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
To the tempe Arizona, and you're going, like you just
just get me out of here. It's funny because I
remember in twenty ten, I wrote one of the most
profoundly high notes in my cell phone watching a DJ
set at the Outside Lands Music Festival. I put EDM
equals Economic Distraction music, wow, because I was like, what
(06:12):
the fun I just remember having this weird moment. I'm
like there's like there was like on ironically like Toyota
ads playing, but then like with this music and everyone
and I'm like the world's gone fucking like where are we.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I'm like one of my high thoughts where everybody's like
partying around me, and on one of my Epstein.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's an Epstein note to self, I wrote, that's much better.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I'd give yourself some credit at Epstein notes were pretty
pretty dumb.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Economic distraction music is like that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Because that was like that huge the beginning, like really
the mainstreaming of like massive ray of culture, like headlining
at festivals where it's like, let's just fucking dance and
I love that shit.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It's not that I'm like talking shit.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But again, when you look at like Ethno musicologists and
the way they talk about this music, it's escape because
of the situations that we're in, just like business casuals
coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
This is like I think this is more of a
black thing, but like around this time going to the club,
millennials are wearing business casual like stunning in business casual
because the fucking rules out a clobe like no hats.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No jerseys, no jeans, no sneakers, we don't serve Hennessy.
It's basically saying like we don't want black people here.
So it's like, noted, I will dress like I'm a
job interview. Now, how the fuck are you gonna keep
me out of here?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And they're like, what the fuck? Follow the rules.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And there's like this whole trend right now that a
lot of people are talking about called the quarter zip trend,
where a lot of like young black kids are saying
like I'm giving up the Nike tech suit and I'm
now wearing a quarter zip sweater and I'm drinking Amacha
latte and sort of doing this thing of like I'm
off that now. But a lot of it is like
sort of like, you know, very.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Classist and kind of like shitting on like mainstream, like
just like being like there's the tech suit wears and
there's the quarter zip wears, and it's.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Like now the people are being like, hold on, we can't.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Just be shitting on our by thinking like just because
we're dressing in a quartership that everything's going to magically change.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
All that to say is like there's aesthetics popping up.
The culture is there, andecdotally ambiently it feels like it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But it's again statistics, the actual economic statistics that they
just don't consider. The the economy is what's happening on
Wall Street. There are also bad jobs numbers if you
look at the specific things that affect people's day to
day lives. But yeah, they found a way to just
completely decouple like the Wall Street economy and then what's
(08:32):
happening to everyone else? And there's a twenty four hour
streaming news network devoted to just the Wall Street economy,
and there's not shit, there's not there's very, very rarely
even news like isolated news story about any other economy
that actually affects people.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
If it is, it's one of those like late stage
capitalism horror stories, or like this disabled elementary school teacher
was able to get the supplies for their school because
of like you know, they they pulled a lucky number
at a festival and like you're like what the fuck,
Like what like every detail about this story said we're
(09:10):
failing this teacher, we're failing these students. Everything is bad.
But just because they got this like bit of luck. Anyway,
the news doesn't want to say it too because I
don't want to freak people out, but guess what, people
already living this shit, whether or not you're described it
that way or not. So it's shout out to the
companies propping up the quote unquote economy with AI spending.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, I think that is like the underrated of the year.
Both you did a good job explaining it, but also
like it just feels like it's the big underrated story
that is pervading everything that's happening in the news right now.
It's just like yeah, yeah, so we're focusing on the
people in power, we're focusing on you know, economic news
(09:51):
like that that's happening on Wall Street and like at
the top level, and then just Matt, like everybody is
just fucking struggling.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I think because rhetorically using the word affordability as a
stand in for fucked economy. Yes, yeah, it absolves people
of any responsibility. That's God, there's just nebulous affordability issue.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
No, it's like it's a regulatory failure. It's it's just
untethered greed and people being ground down to dust. But yeah,
it's affordability issues.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I don't know what we're gonna do, and zaram mam.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Donnie got elected because of sharp elbowed politics and being
good at and because he smiles a lot. Yeah, that's
the that's the revision of that big story exactly. Was
obviously driven by the exact thing you're talking about, my
underrated Miles is how hard it's going to be for
(10:44):
Christopher Nolan to adapt the Odyssey. I you a fool,
so I want And this is not to say he
can't do it. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying
it's a much more interesting challenge. Just then I realized,
like once, so I thought about it this weekend. I'll
explain why. But when I went to see one Battle
(11:06):
after another, they showed the teaser for the Odyssey with
like Matt Damon Flow, you know, passed out on a
boat and like just people being like, this guy is
fucking awesome. He's the coolest nobody like that could actually exist.
He's so cool. And people like cheered at the end
(11:27):
of that trailer, like they like, I've not been in
a trailer where there was that sort of reaction. People
are like so fucking psyched for this movie and I
was there. I was there with them. Man, I took
off my shirt and started whipping around my head like
a helicopter.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
That was me. Yeah yeah, I clip yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I didn't realize what Harry your back was.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It's bad, just but on that one shoulder blade, it's
just a patch that I can because I shaved left handed.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So spot man.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But the image of the movie I had in my
head is something like I don't know, like Troy or
twa as my friend pronounced that, or a Gladiator. My
friend shout out to my friend Ryan Cassidy was always like,
do you want to go see twa Gladiator? You know,
like one of those but made by Nolan so awesome.
(12:25):
But my kids, so my kids are into Greek mythology
right now, and we're listening to this podcast called Greeking Out,
and like we just happened on this story that was
like a story of Odysseus fooling a giant Cyclops by
saying his name is nobody. Like he and his crew
blind the Cyclops by stabbing him in the eye, and
the Cyclops like calls for help from his friend Cyclopsies,
(12:49):
and then when they ask who blinded you, he says, nobody,
and the other cyclops are like, I guess nobody blinded him,
and like, I'll FuG off. It's like just like ancient world,
like the first word word trick or right, and I
don't I don't think that story will be in the
Odyssey exactly that same way. But it like made me
(13:10):
realize that my image of this movie is very different
from the source material, Like this will have to in
some scenes essentially be a monster movie unless he really
chooses to go in a different like I guess there
are other directions he go like a hyper realistic you know,
(13:32):
Robert Eggers or you know, like Batman begins with sort
of him being like what if Batman took place in
the real world and so like, but we haven't seen
him do like a genre like this would seem to
call for. So unless he's like recasting all of the
monsters as like real world animals, or you know, people
(13:57):
online are speculating like what monster doesign he's going with,
and he said only that the supernatural stuff was real
to the characters. He's like, you know, there were volcanic
things and all these things that they thought were caused
by the gods. So that's kind of could go in
either direction.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Like they just the protagonists look like idiots because they
don't know they're like it was real to them. Dude,
this guy just has This guy just has his eye
closed and they called him a cyclops.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Like he could go in the you know, Robert Egger's
movies like The Northmen and The Witch and Lighthouse, I
think are the ones where he basically approaches the people
of other times as like an alien species, where the
line between like what the natural world and supernatural sort
of breaks down and you don't believe and know if
(14:47):
what you're seeing is like psychological or really happening. Which
is all to say, like that that's all really interesting.
That was just an element that I wasn't taking into account.
I thought it was just going to be like a
straight up like historical epic type thing.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Watch him now kind of more.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Intrigued by the movie, but not in a like this
is a surefire Nolan in his bag doing Nolan Ship
way more of a like this is going to have
to be the weirdest movie Nolan has ever made, which
is interesting, Like it's interesting to see where he goes
with that.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Could you man like because you know, because like Odysseus
is like clever, you know, and like the Cyclops story
is like one of those sort of like things that
really shows that be funny. He just because no man
did it. And then when the Cyclops like what happened?
Who did it? He's like, nobody did this. They just
go with like the fucking who, Like it's fucking cs.
I like, yeah, I got his moving on, what else
(15:43):
did you do?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Cut to Odysseus like sailing away on the speed given
double barrel middle fingers, fucks.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Like I'm sorry, I panicked. I don't know how the
fuck to play this. Yeah fuck yeah, that'll be interesting.
I mean, he loves realism, so whether it's like playing
in the reality of what is real to these characters
versus like what we what we believe to be real
as audience members like threading that need, it'll.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Be it'll be super interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Like yeah, you got there's gotta be some monsters in
this movie, dude, he's I mean, he made a movie
about dreams and it didn't have any monsters in it.
It didn't have any like any weird It just had
like people in like with guns. It was just like
my dreams are a James Bond movie essentially, which is cool,
(16:35):
like that that movie fucking rips. So I'm just curious,
like what he's gonna do with that. Yeah, yeah, I
mean a train could come out of nowhere downtown Online
during a rainstorm, kind of like a monster. But it's
the cores light train. What what is something you think
is overrated?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Overrated? What did I put here?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Oh dude, my fucking my folks, come here a humbled
man to the court of candy Corn for since the
beginning of this show, Yeah, you have a real candy
corn hater. I have moved my bowels directly upon the
crown of candy Corn. Okay, And I I wasn't Odysseus,
(17:21):
and I've been very very aggressive about my hatred of candle.
Like it fucking tastes like shit, It's stupid. It tastes
like dried up icing. I went to a neighbor's house yesterday.
This is what I do now. I go to neighbors
houses for pie and coffee. This is how fucking domestic
I felt in fifties. It was crazy. But one of
(17:42):
my neighbors, she's from the South, and she had a
bowl of candy corn and peanuts out and she goes, hey, hey,
you should. I'm like, I was like, oh, I kind
of went. I was like, oh, candy corn, it's all right,
right right. She's like, yeah, it's a little late, but
it's you know, I think it's like a fault treat
her Majesty looks at me. She's like, wow, try try it,
and I go, I don't fucking like candy corn.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I was like a fucking baby.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I was like, I.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Try it. I take a handful of this shit. It's
so fucking good. I I audibly was like.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Oh my God, Like my brains, okay, dude, my brain
finally connected the dots and having peanuts with it completely
opened up candy corn in my brain.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Yeah, like a baby Ruth or something Abba Zabba.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Town, like where you have that nondescript sort of sweet
thing but with like roasted salted peanuts. I fucking had
tears coming down my face, like I had finally understood
what Christ's love like after being an atheist for so long.
Like I had my moment where I surrendered to the Lord,
the Lord of candy corn, so good corn, and I
(18:51):
was like, what the fuck is She's like you've never
had this for I'm like, no, I was just eating
at candy corn.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I've never had it with peanuts. These are peanuts out
of the shell Sali, just loose peanuts candy corn in
a bowl. Have fucking toss him in, baby, chew them up, masticicate, swallow, enjoy, digest,
excreete repeat, mm hmmm. Okay, yeah, no, I'm just taking
all those.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Excreet to repeat. Okay, good, I do it like.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
It doesn't strike me as something that would be improved
by peanuts. That's that's so interesting, a Southern delicacy.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It's you know, anyone who's listening the show, I hate
fucking I fucking hated it and having it with just
that it's just weird. It's just like these that slight recontextualization.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And now I'm a changed man. I'm a changed man.
I got vaccinated for the first time after that too.
I've been lying this show for a long time. I've
been anti vaxxes whole time.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Right about this, What else could they have been write
about vaccines?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Sorry, sorry, I'm gonna go right, but yeah, shout out
my neighbor, shout out. Just these like these slight moments
and I'm a fool, so my hatred oh completely overrated?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, damn, because candy corn doesn't like I've never had it.
I just liked when I was like a little sugar freak.
When I was a kid, I liked the big pumpkins
mainly because they were just you know, I liked icing.
There's like big old honks of icing. Yeah. The only
thing I've ever had candy corn incorporated into is like
(20:33):
as a decorative topping for cupcakes, which I never really
felt was the ideal way to showcase candy corn because
it's just like sugar on sugar.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
You know, if you don't go to the store and
buy some loose on sale candy corn and peanuts and
give them to your children, I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Call CPS on you again.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Look, I keep crying. This might be the one they
know my name number already, Like what Jack.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Did when you and you realized they were half Korean
called CPS. Do you know think they're his kids?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
All right? I'm on it.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Also, candy corn one of the few things that can
transcend that goes from Halloween straight through to Thanksgiving. Yeah,
you know, like not not much else, Like, hey, hey,
what's between the two.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Hey, yeah, that's about a candy corn. Yeah, boom, both
both places.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
What's overrated for you?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And gooses and turkeys? I guess people people eat those them,
crist Although that's not a Halloween thing.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What am I talking about? Halloween goose? We do?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
We get up Halloween goose on every table.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
We are just carving a big turkey as people come
by for trigger treating. My overrated speaking of Halloween being
over and things lingering, I just I overrate the difficulty
of like certain tasks, like I put off taking my
twelve foot skeleton and eleven foot whitch down until this weekend.
(22:11):
We were on day twenty three after Halloween, and that
shit was still there, and I was just walking by
it and feeling like a tiny bit stressed out every
time I did Yeah, I was like, yeah, we'll get
to it.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
We'll get to it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
At the point they would you're breaking it down on
a call, huffing and puffing.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah. Last week Yeah, I remember was like, what's Jack doing?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You're like, yeah, so sorry, guys, I got to tick
down my.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Skelet Did I do that on a call? Oh my gosh,
you did that on that editorial? That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
It took me like fifteen minutes. It was so it
was so easy. There's like it snaps together fairly easily.
So underrated how difficult it is to put up and
take down the twelve foot skeleton. It's just it's twelve feet,
so it seems like it's gonna be a big deal.
But I put it up and took it down, and
neither time was as hard as I was anticipating. Yeah, yeah,
(23:09):
I just generally that's how my mind works, where I'll
just let something sit and for like six months and
then it will like take no time.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Our brains are the worst fortune tellers future seers.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
It's gonna be so fucked up, dude, You're not even
gonna be able to fucking do that shit right, And
then cut to like there was like a I have
to fill out all these surveys and paperwork for the
like lawsuit I'm involved in with my house burning down.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah, and like I look at him like, oh fuck,
you're fucking kidding me. And date of birth.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I'm gonna fucking die if I have to put spill
this out. It's gonna be so it said it was.
The thing was like a two point six megabyte PDF
I opened it. It was three pages, and I was like,
you fucking idiot, you fucking just fucking just fucking no,
for sure, rather than always doing the thing of catastrophizing before.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
You even do it. I'm a big catastrophizer.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I couldtastrophize about blocks and keys.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
They call me young Black Socrates exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
That's yeah, let's take it. Let's take a quick break,
and we'll come back and talk about Donald Trump and
uh Zerramm Donnie meeting over the weekend, the showdown, uh
and other news that happened this weekend.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
It feels like that was their version of candy corn
and peanuts that yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Yeah, and we're back, We're back.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
And uh.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Fox News was hyping it like it was a UFC
fight dubbed showdown with socialism. I don't know if they
got like a tip from inside that Trump was like,
he's gonna fucking bite his head off, dude, dude, he.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Wrapped his hands and broken glass. It's fucking nuts what
he's doing. He's been training with Bolo Young from the
martial arts films The Bad Guy in Blood Support to
get fucking ready for this. Yes, so stupid, showing the
ponytail that he put on top of it. He whips herround,
(25:30):
puts a clip in ponytail in the back. He's like,
I ready, bring him in, bring him in.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
But yeah, so Fox News uh was being previewed as
the showdown with Socialism, and it was that like kind
of summed up by a you know, photograph that everybody
saw with Momdannie not surprisingly smiling and Donald Trump looking
back at him with the biggest fucking smile on his face.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Dude, it looks like when I I like met Jonathan
keyhoy Kwan aka Data aka short Round aka Academy Award winner,
Like when I was a kid, I looked up him
so much. There's a I gotta find it. I met
him and I'm like, ah, whowee, that is the excitement
(26:18):
looking up at him. It's so funny. People are like, bro,
he doesn't even have pictures with Baron looking like this. No, yeah,
this is the happiest I've ever seen him. Look it
doesn't I don't. Yeah, did he just find out what
socialism means? He's like, oh, pretty reasy. I mean a
lot of people at this point is like Trump can't
like if he can't say shit about a winner, like
(26:39):
to the point where like he has to like bow
down to winners like it doesn't even matter. And this
one he's just like, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
He's great.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
The shit he was saying is unbelievable, Like how like
suddenly he went from like we're gonna have to look
into this guy, he's a low life communist to being like,
h we will not be threatening funding at all to
New York City.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah, this guy's great. And actually Trump was.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Like saying, I think he's gonna actually contruct surprise a
lot of conservatives about what he's going to do. Liberals
already like him, and Trump said I'm totally.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Comfortable being in New York if he's the mayor.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
They just completely upended all their rhetoric around this shit.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Trump suggested that mom, Donnie is going to be a
quote really great mayor, claimed that we agree on a
lot more than I would have fought because I don't
I don't read or do anything, and told him to
go ahead and call him a fascist in response to
a reporter's question because it's easier, and they gave him
like a playful arm pat it was hold on, we
(27:40):
had this clip, Yeah, this clip is absolutely because.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Again the media, they were asking all kinds of questions
to both of them, to be like you said he
was a bitch, and you said he was a ge hottist,
or like you know, like or people in your party
believe that.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
What do you think He's like, No, he's actually I
fucked with him heavy. Actually it was basically what he
was saying.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But yeah, this is a really wild one too, where
they try to get mom Donnie like caught up, like
you called this dude accurate?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Are you affirm that you think Trumps a fascist? I've
spoken about that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
It's easier than explaining it, don't.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's a bad. Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It's easier than just like his.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Grand like talking to your grandchild. It's like, do you
think your grandpa's a raised It's like, it's okay, honey,
it's you can love each other. We have our relationship.
You can say that. It's easier, I love you. It's okay, baby. Yeah.
Every every quote was so glowing.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
It does raise the queste because you know, I feel
like since it first administration, we've like people take what
he says seriously because he's the president. I really feel
like it's it's like his moods are just wild and
swing based on like if he's in a good like
(29:06):
adderall pocket or not, you know what I mean. Yeah,
And like this was early the sun was out.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Go get those early.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
And also too, he doesn't he has no memory of
what he said before about a thing, right, like whatever
it is, you're just getting his instant reaction to whatever
they're like is being asked of him. And in this case,
he had a good meeting with Mom Donnie, who is
like personable, he's affable, he knows how to talk to people,
(29:34):
so of course he's gonna like he found a way
to describe what his vision was, and Trump said, I
think it's great. He wants to make it safe. I
want it to be safe. I want it to be affordable.
I like New York. He likes New York. That's good.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Like h Like he was just like Mom Donnie went
in with like a handful of talking points that were
just like, hey, we both like New York. And he
was just like, wow, that's a good point. And then
like you know, Trump posted, so he posted all these
pictures of them together.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, like from his account, he's like he's ram with
this cool young guy from New York, Isn't he cool?
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Folks?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Again, people were like, you don't even post your fucking kids, bro.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Meanwhile, Laura Lumer not not quite as far. The people
on the right were like, you know, it came in
expecting to see like an UFC knockout, and staid saw
like just a cuddle fust Yeah, Laura Lumer said, not
condemning Trump disclaimer, However, I think we can all agree.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's a bad look to let a foreign board.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Jettis, who said he wants to implement anti white policies
like taxing white people more money, to stand behind the
desk in the Oval Office and repeatedly wrote the phrase
what are we doing? I'm stunned throughout. I had to
drink a bottle of ginger ale today after seeing mom
Donnie in the Oval office because it physically nauseates me
seeing Islamic jihadis infiltrate our government.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
The Democrats posted on it, despite despite having passed a
House resolution condemning socialism. They were they were willing to
post a meme photo with like Mum Donnie extra Trump
and as like the strong dog.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah yeah, Chad and little Baby couldn't absolutely couldn't stand
up to it.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I mean, yeah, I think a lot of people are like.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
What's he doing with Trump? I'm like, dude, he's working him.
I don't know, I don't know. I mean, like obviously,
I think you're there. What what he'll be able to
achieve versus what he campaigned on are of two different
things because he doesn't have absolute power as mayor. But
you know, it is wild to just he went in
there and turned a guy who said we might have
to deport his ass.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yeah, to you.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Get whatever money you need, babe, call me a fascist, babe.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I love it, babe. Kind of cute. He's kind of cute, babe.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
And honestly, I would love to live in Mam Donnie's
in New York. It's what he was saying. So it's, yeah,
that really fucked up all the people who were, you know,
hoping that the maga Islamophobia would he would keep that
same energy, but he didn't.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
It's as he's unreliable, might say. There were some great
images of Trump dressing legs Oran after the meeting, and
like it was like Zoran in a kind of maroon
turtleneck with a blacks right, and then Trump in like
a scarf with a black blazer and people were like, damn,
(32:33):
he's even like trying to copy his swag. But those
were fake those Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I think the thing that wasn't Ai slop, that was
the most jarring was just seeing their interaction there.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
And also, it's okay, babe, you can say what you want.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Underscores to not only like disoniality, but the cowardice. You know,
Donald Trump, he only keeps that same energy for unfortunately
women or women of color. That's the only time he's
like he really fucking eyes. It's like he's like he's like,
oh yeah, what about this this guy, Like this guy
calls you a fashion He said, Okay, babe.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
You can say it. It's all right.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I actually think it's cute when he says it.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh so you don't have that same energy from the
Twitter posts? Okay, okay, I actually can't remember. It's wet energy, babe.
It's always loved, babe, No smoke, babe, never wanted it.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
He does. Speaking of Trump and Twitter posts, he is
still posting a lot of like alarming shit that suggests
that he wants to murder the people who said that.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I just think seditious crimes should be punishable by death,
that's right. And I throws them of that. Do whatever
you want with that information. Yeah, I mean again, he's
still feeling the sting of lawmakers reminding the troops about
the Constitution because I think it. Those are the moments
when he has to be like, I'm the bad I'm like, no,
(33:56):
surely not. Now let me now, let me retreat to
my the soothing, calm waters of AI boomer slot memes
with me starring Donald Trump, and he's posting ship like
he's got like a this AI pick of like him
with an American flag cape on with like the New
York City skyline. But the letters don't make sense. It says,
(34:16):
remember your oath.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Then there's another one with red lightning like he's a
fucking like Emperor Palpatine or some sith lord. Like red
lightning hitting him. It says duet que on his shoulder
of his jacket, and it says time to obliterate the
deep State. Yeah, and you're like, oh, y'all that he
might they might state they might self obliterate, right, the
(34:44):
whole Q thing is kind of a weird thing to
be invoking the same week that it was revealed that
you're all over the Epstein files and all over the
Epstein emails.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
It's not him.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
They're like, no, no, no, no, no, his energies around
because he's going to upend the pedophile, evil cabals that
exist among Democrats. And then there's another one with a
guy Fox mask and said, nothing can stop what's coming. Uh,
but it's a guy Fox mask, like as if he's
taking off the Guy Fox mask, but he's wearing a
guy This guy Fox mask stupid because it's ai not
(35:22):
in sense. You're like, what are you saying that?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
It's still if it was trum Trump's fist underneath, but
instead it was Guy Fox taking off his Guy Fox mask.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Yep reveal it is me Guy Fox mask. So there
we are.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Meanwhile, none of the targeted lawmakers are backing down. They're like,
he's just trying to intimidate us, and you know whatever,
we're not intimidated because guess what, it's in the fucking constitution.
You're supposed to disobey an illegal order. That's like the
whole fucking point here. And Republicans they're split on how
to respond. You have people who are like clearly trying
to differentiate from MAGA, like the RAMD Paul who are like, look,
(36:01):
I'm just an idiot. I'm not MAGA. He's like, I
think it's reckless.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Then meanwhile, you have other I think it was Tom
Tillis who was saying, like, you know, children are watching,
and the president should think about the example he sets
for the children that are watching.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Like, okay, nice light attempt at admonishment. And meanwhile, every
like military expert has basically said like, yeah, what these
lawmakers said is absolutely legal and true. You're supposed to
disobey in a legal order.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
He was saying, children are watching, so that's why you
got to stop doing a war crime.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
He was trying to be like, you're an look that
you're a role models. He was doing that, you're a
role model, mister president. So maybe you don't call for
their heads because little kids. You want to show the
little children's of the world that we don't just call
for people's heads. M Oh okay, yeah, yeah, I don't
know how that worked.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
That was effective. Such a weird thing to be like that.
That's my line. This this looks bad to children.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
It's just such a I think it's a way for
them to be critical, but in a way that is
meaningless to Trump. So like they're on record being like,
well Tom Tillis didn't co sign that, he said the
children are watching, But Donald Trump's like, I don't give
a fuck fuck them kids.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yes, he's a he's a big fuck them kids energy. Yeah,
And so are you?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Is that still a.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Thing where you believe in Santa Claus? Is that still
a going concern for you? Are you?
Speaker 4 (37:21):
What?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Are you the five to twelve demo? What let's take
a quick break, we'll come back, and we're back. We're back.
And I think I saw a headline over the weekend
(37:44):
that the crypto market has not been good to the
Trump family so far this year?
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (37:51):
They they put a lot of money in, a lot
of people like, yeah, man, we're all getting in if
Trump's getting in.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
But the market is a volatile thing.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
They're basically if there was a just a huge selloff
that wiped out more than one trillion dollars of value
across the digital asset world, that meant the poor Trump familia,
they they lost a billion dollars. They used to be
worth seven point seven billion and only six point seven
billion dollars, so sheet.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Fuck you hate to see that.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
And they said it's mostly because of how much of
the like crypto that they're holding. Mm hmmm, because again,
I think the other part that's really the not surprising
aspect of this story is that all the people who
bought the Trump shit coin around inauguration weekend when it
was like at its peak, they would have lost fucking
there the entire like investment at this point, Like if
(38:42):
they held onto it, You're like, of course, because they're
they're they're just taking money from you.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
So yeah, it's not good for anyone.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
It's not good for the for the Trump family, and
it's certainly not good if you're holding the Trump shit
coin either, Right.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Fuck man, I'm not gonna say which of those two
groups I fall into, but I do fall into one
of them, and that is bad news for this guy.
Bad news for my uncle, does seem Yeah, it seems
somewhat predictable that he was going to do a bad
job and his popularity would slightly fall from where it
(39:16):
was after the inauguration.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, And also just the whole idea that like as
if buying a Trump shit coin was any kind of
investment to begin.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
With, Does that suggest that they had a billion dollars
tied up in a meme coin like that?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
No, No, it's probably across other stuff. They huge just
chunks a big coin.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Like just everything.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
They've been getting, all kinds of assets.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
And it seems like he.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Only has the potential the capability to like focus on
a thing at a time, and so like there was
like a week where he was just like all meme
coin all the time, and that was his thing, and
now nobody's like really talking about it, so he's not
even aware of it.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, he's mercurial, you know, and right now he's in
his socialism era. I think he's he's like I just
talked to Zoran. Oh my god, we're gonna we're gonna
do something.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
We're doing.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I think this beard looks cool on me, beard, sir, Yes, yes,
very cool beard you have.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
I wonder if he can grow a beard? Probably not right,
I don't know, he I ah, I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
It is odd, Like is.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
The how completely hairless his face is and always has been.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yeah, what's going on there? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Because I could even get my weird like pirate cheek
hair out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
I've never seen a single whisker on his face. Yeah,
maybe maybe he got a lasered off, or maybe I
get it waxed. Getche beard. Waxing is what I actually
engage in. So Doge doesn't exist anymore. This is just
like following up on stories from a year ago. Trump's
shit coin and Doge which came in was all anybody
(40:56):
could talk about for a while as they were dismantling
the government. And now it is, as Jam points out,
straight up, like the part in the monorail episode where
Marge goes to the neighboring towns who used to have
monorails and everyone's just like, there ain't no monorail and
there never was when there was just like monorail tracks
over the But yeah, the Trump officials are now saying
(41:20):
that Doge quote doesn't exist. Although it supposedly had eight
months still remaining on its contract, it was dissolved the
whole invading federal agencies and firing thousands of federal workers.
Where they were like, trust us, there's a method to this.
We know what we're doing. Again, what one thing at
a time, He's able to just like focus on a thing,
(41:42):
be like we're doing that. He blows up whatever that
was or that relationship, gets bad press for it, and
then moves off it and there's just disaster left in
his wake.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Yeah, it's wild because they're like it doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
It's like the damage that was done by this group.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Sorry, Yeah, range should have clarified unlike immeasurable. Yeah, you know,
like like all the stories you're read with these people
like fucking bear essentially barricading themselves and these like government
offices and keep people from like doing what they were
up to and trying to get access to like data
systems that no one does, and like, yeah, just just
fuck around in there a little bit for whatever fucking
(42:22):
reason you are TBD. We still don't even know what
like what the wait, you know what the real ramifications
of that are going to be. So yeah, let me clarify. Uh,
doge no longer exists. However, our inability to tell when
a hurricane is coming that is forever. Yeah, and that
is our promise to you. Uh, the government no longer
(42:42):
in charge of that. Yeah, and also nobody else is
because everybody was lying on the government to.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Kill them I'm sure it was probably something with like
you know, Peter Teel or someone being like, oh, I'll
have all that data on every American.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Yeah I could do something with that.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Uh sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, let me check
that out.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
But yeah, it's uh, I don't know, maybe we just
get a bunch of scam spam calls or something.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
It's already happening.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
But yeah, great, it's disbanded. It is no more. And
I think there's a couple of people that are still
on the that were part of those that have now
been moved over to the h I think it's called
the National Design Studio, and that is being like the
guy who co founded Airbnb runs it and basically what
they do there is to beautify government websites.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Okay, so they've they've shrunken the scope of their mission
a little bit. Yeah, slightly, just like woke website redesigned beautifying.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
A website that woke shit. Dude, Fine, that's true.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Up to all right? MTG finally has quit? Will quit?
Oh man, candn't handle it? Huh.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
It was it was a quick turn. She was like,
I am here to stand up to this president and
like by the end of that sentence, she was like,
and I will be stepping down.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Yeah. She was like that scene on Friday when Red
got knocked out for you know, Deebo stealing his bike
and then he said you want some tool man, and
Margie Taylor Green said nope and fucked off like she'd
only been she really starting to puffing her chest up,
like for ten days a week. Yeah, and then I
(44:24):
mean she was saying she's getting all kinds of death threats.
And I don't know if like she's if the narrative
is they chased me out so I'm resigning, or she
actually is just doing it for the pension. It could
be somebody, it could be everything, it could be both.
Who's to say, But she'd good.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Her time would go up, right, Like I think they're
just saying that, Like she pushed her resignation to a
date after which she would qualify for the pension. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Like she's like, well, I need that in order to
be you know, eligible for.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
The pension, for the congressional pension.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
So now, yeah, speaking of my current Yeah, yeah, she
just went from like hard right Trump champion to you know,
hard right Trump critic that AOC was pointing out that
like she's you know, still votes in line with the
most right wing shit possible, and it is not not cool.
(45:20):
Like despite her saying things about like healthcare and she's
she does not vote in line with that stuff.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
She is the only thing that's been the Epstein stuff. Yeah,
it's just she's been somewhat consistent on But I think, yeah,
this feels either a she got there's too many death
threats and she's like I don't want to just deal
with being on this side of like maga Iyer, or
it's the thing that I think most people who are
(45:48):
opportunistic who seek officer doing it is like maybe she's
now I don't know. If you look at polymarket, she's
not shot to third in terms of potential nominees for
twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
The Republican presidential nomination.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
But that's not based off fucking anything. It's just interesting
like that.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Because a lot of people are speculating, I'm like, oh,
is she going to make a run? I'm like, do
you fucking attack ads against her? They're gonna be like,
look at this shit she posted on because it's different
how she comes off to voters than how Trump comes
off to voters right like independence would hear see Marjorie.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
Taylor Green and be like, I don't fucking know about this.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
But I don't know. I mean, I think that there's
a this is this seems like a very interesting time
for Republicans to be like, maybe we can start doing
what Democrats do and I just kind of keep my
head low and be like I'm not really this though,
and hopefully that gives me a seat at.
Speaker 3 (46:35):
The table in a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Right. She has said I'm not running for president and
never said I wanted to, and have only laughed about
it when anyone would mention it.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
I've only got too Yeah, I've only laughed about it.
Is so aggressive, I know, are you seriously.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
When they bring it up, I just like only laugh
about do you have a crush on that person?
Speaker 3 (46:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (46:56):
And in fact, like the fact that you brought it
up is actually making me laugh right now, that's actually
making me die. That's making me die laughing right now,
I'm actually laughing so hard. You're talking to an angel.
You're being haunted by my ghost because what you said
killed me. I don't like them, all right, they should
let us right there, denials.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Sorry, you're talking to a ghost.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
You're talking to a ghost actually right now. Anyways, those
are some of the things that are trending on this Monday,
November twenty fourth. We are back tomorrow with a whole
ass episode of the show. We also had our Evergreen
Icons episode number two drop this morning. You can go
check that out. In the one before this one, we're
covering Arkle this week to Keith Neil and yeah, until tomorrow,
(47:44):
